Assignment No. 5

Q.1: Construct the matrix A=[ aij ] if A is 2 ×3 and


a ij=−i+2 j.

Q.2: An auto parts company manufactures distributors, sparkplugs, and magnetos at two plants I
and II. Matrix X represents the production of the two plants for retailer X, Y represents the
production of the two plants for retailer Y. Write a matrix that represents the total production at
the two plants for both retailers, where

Q.3: Suppose the prices of products A, B, C and D are given, in that order, by the price row
vector
P= [ p A p B pC p D ]
If the prices are to be increased by 16%, the vector for the new prices can be obtained by
multiplying P by what scalar?

Q.4: A stockbroker sold a customer 200 shares of stock A, 300 shares of stock B, 500 shares of
stock C and 250 shares of stock D. The prices per share of A, B, C and D are $100, $150, $200
and $200 respectively. Write a row vector representing the number of shares bought. Write a
column vector the price per share of each stock. Using matrix multiplication, find the total cost
of the stocks.

Q.6: A local hospital has gathered data regarding people admitted for in-patient services. The
vector P indicates the percentages of all patients admitted to different hospital units. The vector S
indicates the average length of patient stay (in days) for each hospital unit.

( )
0.18 Obstetrical
0.10 Cardiac
P= S = (3 16 2 4)
0.24 Pediatric
0.48 Other

The vector C summarizes current daily patient cost for the different hospital units:

C = ( $ 680 $ 1,400 $ 540 $ 360)

If 300 new patients are admitted, perform a matrix multiplication to compute:


a) The numbers of patients admitted to each hospital unit.
b) The total number of patient-days expected.
c) Total cost per day for the 300 patients.
Q.7: Represent the given system by using matrix multiplication.

2 x+5 y =4
8 x +3 y=7
